Set the Capture Parameters

Start by selecting the capture area: place the cursor over the application window you are going to capture and click the left mouse button. You can also draw the capture frame over the target part of your screen by holding the left mouse button and dragging the cursor across the screen. After doing this, you'll also be able to pick a size preset from the Capture Area list in the program interface. Now choose the type of audio device you’ll be using for capturing sounds by clicking the appropriate icon(s) – speaker and/or microphone – in the middle of the window. Make sure the icon you want is green. Both inputs can be used simultaneously or individually.

You can also choose to highlight the mouse cursor or show keyboard actions; to do this, expand the Effects menu and select Keystroke Recording or Cursor Effects to configure these options. If you want to specify the duration of the capture process, click the alarm clock icon above the REC button and set the capture timer.

Record Desktop Video in Windows 7

Click REC or press F10 to start capturing your video. To finish, use Stop or F10. If necessary, click Pause or press F9 to take a break. Click Cancel if you want to stop recording without saving. To take a screenshot, press F8. The video you captured will be automatically saved in MKV format and open in a preview window.

Edit and Convert Your Video (Optional)

In the preview window, you can trim off unwanted footage from the recorded video. To do this, drag the marker to the starting point of the unwanted segment and cut it off with the scissors tool, then mark the ending of that segment in the same way. Left-click on it and press the trash can to remove the segment from your video. To save any changes you've made and convert the screen video to a different format click the Save As button in the bottom right corner of the interface.

In the export dialog that opens, select the format you want. The last step is to click Save, then sit back and enjoy the results.
